Florida Governor Ron DeSantis launched a scathing attack on the state of California, portraying it as a deteriorating husk of its former self, in a newly released presidential campaign ad on Monday, just prior to embarking on a campaign tour on the West Coast.
The advertisement takes aim at Democratic Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, blaming him for pushing the state further into a progressive predicament, while presenting Florida as a vibrant and flourishing alternative.
Accompanied by a tweet from a DeSantis campaign account, the video asserts, “The debate is already over. California’s liberal governance is a disaster. Ron DeSantis’ conservative policies have Florida thriving, and would do so for the nation.”
